Bikes: Jamis Ranger 1.0 (Mutilated !!), Trek Portland

I got my Trek Portland early this year. Overall, an awsome bike. No troubles so far. However a few things that you might want to note depending on how important they are to you --

- It wouldn't take any kick stands.
- The factory fenders are not so great. Especially the front one WILL keep hitting your feet when you turn the handle even a little bit (actually it is a bit dangerous)
- If you go ahead and replace factory fenders with some good ones from market, they will take up the eyelets on the fender for front racks. For me, I dont need front racks, but if you are touring, and need front racks, it might be something to note. I am not sure if it is possible to share those eyelets by using longer bolts though ..
- Disc brakes are pretty awsome, but not sure if you really need so much of brakes riding on roads ..

All that being said, I LOVE my bike
